Report: Apple OKs app to convert Flash on iPhone

Flash is still banished from Apple's iPhone, but a mobile browser is opening the door--at least partially--to the technology.

Apple has approved Skyfire, a mobile Web browser that converts Flash videos to HTML5 on the fly, according to CNN and other news sources.

Here is Skyfire's solution: when someone browses a Web page with Flash video, Skyfire's own servers fire up and translate the content into HTML5. Clicking on a thumbnail of the HTML5 video then streams it directly from Skyfire's servers to the Apple device.
